The Right Person

Tips*** Finding Love

There are things that very simple in life, but there are also situations that are not that simple... finding love is really one of the not so simple things. Below are a 2 tips on how to find the right guy. These are some of the advise I follow and I have learned along my own life journey.

1) NEVER SETTLE
God only knows how many women I see doing this on a regular basis there are many reasons as to of why we do this, it could be that you may have low self-esteem, that your heart is broken from a past relationship or you just feel like "Hey, why shouldn't I give him a chance?" DON'T think this, If you have ever heard the term "there's plenty of fish in the sea" It's true and settling will lead you down a long winding road of unhappiness.

2) Accept yourself for who YOU are. 
Until you can see yourself in open light, you are hiding others from your true capability of being in a long-lasting relationship. Meaning instead of looking in the mirror and tearing yourself down say something nice about yourself. (Do you have a nice smile, style, natural beauty)? When you focus on the positive it makes it a lot easier to forget about those little pesky things that get you down about yourself.

Please note* By no means am I an expert.

Home Spa DIY

Stress is something we all go through in our lives; sometimes in abundance. Whether it’s family life, you or your loved one’s health, your home, your job, or the countless other responsibilities we just can’t seem to say no to, stress seeps into our lives and sometimes downright refuses to let go until it has taken us as far down as we think we can possibly go.

Sometimes we would like nothing more than to step into a spa and be pampered throughout the afternoon.  Considering my super busy schedule I would love to have a full-service spa day every other day but let's face it, I am not rich and can not afford to walk through their doors as often as I would like because, dammit, those services are expensive!

So if you’re like me and find yourself often fantasizing about face scrubs and milk baths, here are a 2 super easy beauty recipes you can effortlessly make at home, perhaps after a trip to the grocery store, that will eliminate your troubles, your worries and your stress–at least for the time being.

Relaxing Foot Soak If you are like my always on your feet and in heels day in and day out, here is a great way to detox and relax. You will need: 1 cup Epsom salt 1 peppermint tea bag 1 chamomile tea bag 1 basin of water Directions: Fill a basin with warm water and add the Epsom salts and tea bags. Soak feet for 30 minutes.

Old Fashioned Bubble Bath

Who doesn’t love a relaxing, soothing bubble bath? This recipe has some rather weird ingredients, but the sugar and egg whites condition skin and also add to the bubbly effect.

You will need:

• 1/2 cup milky liquid soap or shower gel
• 1 tablespoon sugar or honey
• 1 egg white

Directions:

Mix together all ingredients. To use, pour the entire mixture under the running water as you draw your bath.

Think Like A Man

Hello Lovies,

Hope you are all doing well. As for me, I have been very busy, between kids, sports, my business, and trying to be fabulous I rarely have time. lol  This past weekend I went to see the movie "Think Like A Man".  I must admit I read a few chapters of the book about 1 year ago and never finished it, I honestly was not a fan of what the book, and ended up giving it away to my girlfriend.. The movie was a must see for me since I am the type of girl who loves chick flicks.  Well the movie on the other hand was great and I love it. If you haven't seen it, well you are missing out on good laughter.  Below is the trailer in case you missed the previews on TV.

Celebs Pregnant Favorites

My Favorite pregnant Celebs 

Pregnancy is one of the most unforgettable experience any women could ever go through.  This may be your first child, second, or third, it doesn't matter! but each one is new and you will never have that specific pregnancy for that specific child again, this makes it special... well at least for me it does.  I am a mother of two amazing kids, and although each pregnancy was an experience it self, it was amazing and beautiful.  I will tell you that I never let my self go, I always made sure I looked good... well not every day I must admit I did have my days where looking crazy was what worked for me that specific day, but for the most part I made sure I was well dressed..  I mean I looked like a well groomed whale :) (would not change the experience for anything in this world), with this being said I wanted to share a few pictures of my favorite current pregnant celebs. I call them the stylish hot mama's of Hollywood.

Working Out Tip While At Work

Workout At Work
We spend a good portion of our day at work, I can say we spend upwards of 40 hours a week at the office, yet we are lucky if we can get in 2 hours at the gym! If you are married to your job, don’t let yourself become a victim of a sedentary lifestyle because of your work. Try these simple tips to incorporate a more active lifestyle into your day job. 

1. Make the Most of Your Commute. Walk to work if it’s 1 mile or less. Yes, this is going to be limited to city dwellers but you can also walk to the bus stop, or take the stairs instead of the elevator.
2. Waiting in line for your morning coffee? Try doing toe raises, and leg lifts. This can also be done at a copy machine, in line for the bathroom or on a boring conference call. Really you can do them anywhere.
3. Have a long phone call you need to make? Do it standing up. You burn more calories while standing than sitting. Try a standing desk even for part of the day.
4. Keep a resistance band in your desk drawer for some upper body strength training during breaks throughout the day. Try doing bicep curls, shoulder raises and an overhead press.
5. Go for power walks at your lunch break.
6. Instead of taking the elevator, don't be lazy and take the stairs.

Mani vs. Pedi

Mani vs Pedi

Why oh why does my nail polish on my manicure chip after wearing it for about 2 days, MAX?!? I can have the exact same polish, base coat, top coat, etc on my pedicure and it would literally last for months (if I didn't change it out of boredom and wouldn't that be bad hygiene?). What's the deal? Some obvious answers might be "because you wash your hands", "because your hands are exposed and your feet are not", "because you use your hands more". To this I say nay! Umm, hello, I wash my feet too!! Eiww. I certainly USE my feet. I'm guessing more than I use my hands. I mean, I walk on them at the very least. If you know me you also know that my feet are literally ALWAYS exposed well in the summer. My poor tootsies are jammed into a five inch platform heel with a toe box that feels like my shoe is about 8 sizes too small. I was recently in NY and walked around in my heels for one evening and think I have a broken foot now : where I live just across the bridge we are normally

driving around. So, if any of my digits are being abused, I say it's my toes! Thus my perplextion.

Shine on!!

xoxo ~ Griselle

*NOTE* For do-it-yourself, the best polish is Channel, who originated Vamp. Remember Vamp?! Then Essie followed with Vixen. Channel nail polish costs between $18 and $30 usd, depending on where you buy it. You should only keep a bottle of nail polish for one month.

Do I Love For The Right Reasons!

Do I Love For The Right Reasons!!

Years ago, I overheard the following conversation: A girl was talking to her friend about her relationship and she said: 'I love him, but... Do I love him for the right reasons?' At that moment, I wasn't quite sure what she meant by that. Let this not be a surprise friends, many times I have heard friends or just conversations questioning if they are in their relationship for the right reasons.

A close friend confessed to me that her marriage was going through a rocky time. I got extremely sad as I love to see my friends happy. After listening to her story, I asked her what made her fall in love with her husband in the first place. When she gave me her honest answer, I instantly recalled that conversation from the past and got to understand!

This whole situation also brought to my mind an episode of one of reality shows, 'Giuliana and Bill.' Giuliana revealed that what she liked the most about Bill Rancic from Day 1 was that he could make a 'great husband and a great father.' I guess that, we really have to ask to ourselves why we love the person we love. Are the answers that we give to ourselves in real time, the prophecy of what the relationship may become?



I admire my parents, for they have been married for 40 years. If you can make your relationship work because the love still exist, then go for it friends. Make happy a priority.
